The latest chapter caters to the pilot spirit in each of us, seeking the freedom to dream and the space to constantly rise above our limits and the world around us.Įntirely redesigned from scratch, the all-new Pilot collection foregoes the vintage aesthetic for something that draws inspiration from the entire span of aviation – past and present. Taking on many forms over the years in a balancing act between heritage and modernism, the ZENITH Pilot collection is the Manufacture’s most long-standing line, and one that never ceases to beguile seasoned watch aficionados as well as avid aviation enthusiasts. Today, ZENITH continues to uphold and build upon this unparalleled heritage with the latest generation of the Pilot collection. Among the most notable of its countless adopters was Louis Blériot, who made history by making the first flight across the English Channel in 1909. In the years that followed, ZENITH would become one of the preeminent makers of specialized watches and dashboard instruments for pilots. In 1888, ZENITH filed a trademark for the French term “Pilote”, followed by the English version “Pilot” in 1904.
ZENITH’s fascination with the world of aviation goes as far back as the late 19th century, when the Manufacture’s founder Georges Favre-Jacot believed that mankind was on the verge of finally conquering the skies – and that ZENITH should be there alongside the brave pioneers who saw a world of freedom and infinite possibilities far above the horizon.
The sky is yours, and it’s calling to reach your star. The pursuit of liberty to rise above and gain a new perspective.
